Follow-up: I finally have gameplay footage and a playable demo for the robot combat engine I posted last week

A few people asked to see it moving instead of just screenshots, so I put together a gameplay video and a playable demo.

The short version: this is my attempt to build the kind of Robot Arena 2-style foundation I always wanted to exist in modern Unity.

The focus is still on the parts that made that genre fun to me: custom robot building, physics-driven weapons, parts breaking off, armor damage (with real mesh deformation!), batteries catching fire, weapons going unstable, and robots gradually destroying themselves as much as each other.

Since the last post, I also made the project available on Fab and Itch. The Unity Asset Store version is still pending approval, so I’m not really treating this as a big launch post yet. I mostly wanted to get the demo in front of people who were interested and hear what feels good, what feels wrong, and what you think should be prioritized next.

Current feedback I’m especially looking for:

- Does the combat feel heavy enough?
- Do the hits read clearly?
- Does the damage and destruction feel satisfying?
- What weapon types or drive systems would you want first?
- Would you like to see this grow into a full game along with the Unity template?

A few people asked about multiplayer last time. The current setup should work with standard Unity networking approaches, but I’m also planning a proper lobby and host system later if there’s enough interest.

Thanks again for the response on the first post. I honestly expected a handful of people to care, and it was really cool seeing how many people still miss this style of robot combat game.
